1049. Dark and Wet

A stone plunges
to the bottom...joins
others there.

1049. Dark and Wet

A stone plunges
to the bottom...joins
others there.

Link with 1048: Thrown stone.

[Over the years it is likely many stones have been throw or skipped into the pond. The stone now in my hand has been basking in the sun for hundreds of years. I now toss it into the lake where it will sink down to a dark, wet place on the bottom. How long will it stay there? How long before it again "sees" the light of day?]

this from 2 years ago:

pebbled beach
fragments of the island's past
tickle my feet

Pat: Ah, so we do.

Polona: We think alike. :-) Nice haiku.
